You can google them, wikipedia them or look them up the old fashioned way in an Atlas x = east of london, -x = west of london
 
y = south of the equator, -y north of the equator.
 
the numerical value for x-y is the same as long/lat _________________ Frohe Reise, Bearsie. |

Actually you don't need the co-ordinates on the pocxxl worldmap
 
You only put them in the xml file, the computer puts the red dot where it belongs    _________________ Frohe Reise, Bearsie. |
